Chapter 111

The four wind manipulators wore tight-fitting, combat-ready nano-suits with walkie-talkies on their waists, their bodies streamlined like agile swimming athletes.

The tight-fitting nano-suits were the exclusive uniform of wind manipulators, said to reduce air resistance and increase speed, although the increase was negligible.

Leading them was a handsome young man with curly blue hair. He went straight to Ju Mang and asked in a deep voice:

"What happened? We saw this place enveloped in night. Were you attacked by a Night Watch professional?"

The other three wind manipulators followed closely behind him, also looking at Ju Mang. At the same time, they noticed a shriveled corpse lying on the ground, its face unclear.

"I was attacked by Hecate and Bacchus." Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the corpse on the ground. "I killed them both. This is Bacchus's body. Hecate was taken away by my companion."

"What!" The curly-haired blue-eyed youth almost suspected he had hearing problems. He approached, shocked and suspicious, and bent down to turn the corpse over, face up.

Then, he showed a "ghostly" expression. It really was Bacchus! Although the corpse was shriveled and its skin wrinkled, it was still possible to see what he looked like in life, and they had seen Bacchus's portrait countless times and wouldn't mistake it.

Bacchus was dead! This was Bacchus, a Saint ranked second on the A-level wanted list, one of the top Saints in the Dionysus Club, with only a handful of people stronger than him under the Lord.

Such a powerful and influential figure was actually dead, killed by an unknown Beast King from the Second District. The other three wind manipulators also showed similar expressions! The curly-haired youth gave Ju Mang a complicated look, quickly took out his walkie-talkie, and said in a trembling voice: "Derson River Park, everyone come to Derson River Park immediately. Bacchus attacked Ju Mang and has been… killed!"

There was a moment of silence on the walkie-talkie, then a burst of noise, with "f*ck" and "what" rising and falling.

1:30 a.m., New York County Bank Building, 106th floor, the Execution Department was brightly lit.

In Large Conference Room No. 3, Sean Meade sat at the head of the table, staring at Ju Mang. The Chief Executive Officer personally took notes and said, "We have confirmed Bacchus's identity. First of all, on behalf of the Puritans, I thank you for your feat. This is the greatest achievement of the New York County Branch in recent years."

Sean Meade's tone was light, and his face was radiant. As one of the three giants of the Puritan New York County Branch, the branch's achievements also represented his achievements. Sending such a figure as Bacchus into the Lingjing was enough to offset his previous mistakes.

The headquarters' board of directors should reconsider whether to send a commissioner to replace him, and all of this was brought about by the young man in front of him.

Therefore, even if he didn't like the guy who had beaten his son, Sean Meade had to acknowledge his favor.

"Having received the Puritans' salary, I should work for the Puritans." Zhang Yuanqing said some nice platitudes.

Sean Meade nodded and asked, "I've read your mission report. Where is Hecate?"

"Teleported back to the Second District. I gave him to Elder Fu." Zhang Yuanqing said.

Sean Meade frowned. Hecate's weight was only slightly less than Bacchus's, and it was also a great achievement. He planned to send an email to the Five Elements Alliance afterward to confirm this matter and discuss the ownership of Hecate.

Of course, that was a matter for later.

Sean Meade continued to ask, "You just said that there was also a Dream Weaver who attacked you. Where is he?"

"I guess he hid in Hecate's dream. He should have escaped successfully."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "No one can stop a Dream Weaver's dream travel, except for a higher-level Dream Weaver."

Sean Meade gave an "hmm" and said, "According to the Puritans' intelligence, Bacchus had a Lord-level item in his hands."

Zhang Yuanqing curled his lips. It was already his trophy.

Sean Meade stared at him deeply: "You didn't explain the battle process in detail in the mission report."

"The Chief Executive Officer wouldn't write his trump cards in the mission report, would he?"

"You have a Lord-level item?"

"This is all thanks to Elder Fu!" Zhang Yuanqing's tone and expression were extremely relaxed.

Sean Meade pondered for a moment, seemed to have figured something out, didn't continue to dwell on the Lord item, and instead said, "The evil professionals' provocative behavior tonight is very abnormal. In your China's words, it's all thunder and no rain. We suspect that all of this was designed to ambush you. What do you think?"

Zhang Yuanqing's expression turned grave: "I think so. The evil faction wants to hunt me down and avenge Maru Has. After tonight's incident, I will be even more dangerous. Chief Executive Officer, I request the Puritans' protection and take a vacation in the bank building for a while."

Sean Meade wasn't surprised by this. Ju Mang's reaction and worries were in line with his expectations.

"The Execution Department doesn't have any problems for the time being. Go back and rest first. The reward for hunting Bacchus will be issued to you within three days. As for Hecate, unless you can send him back to the Puritans, you won't get any reward."

Zhang Yuanqing automatically ignored the second half of his sentence, got up, and left the conference room.

He walked in the Execution Department's office area. The wind manipulators and clerical staff he met along the way bowed and greeted him, their attitudes respectful. The proud members of the Execution Department looked at this Beast King from the Second District with a look of awe and worship.

He had only been in New York County for less than half a month, and he had successively hunted down the second and fifth on the A-level wanted list, especially Bacchus, who was an outlaw that only a Lord could possibly kill.

He was a major concern for the law-abiding camp, but from today onwards, Bacchus would forever become history.

After learning that Bacchus had been hunted down, most of the Execution Department members didn't wash their faces or brush their teeth, put on their clothes, and drove back to the bank building, then ran to the morgue to watch Bacchus's corpse.

Seeing the shriveled body lying on the morgue bed, they finally confirmed that Bacchus had really returned to the Lingjing, as if in a dream.

That night, Sean Meade had the Propaganda Department announce the news of Bacchus and Hecate being killed on the Puritans forum.

The Chief Executive Officer had been under a lot of external pressure for two days and couldn't wait to eliminate the voices of criticism and reverse his reputation.

Queens District, in an empty house where the windows and doors were nailed shut with wooden boards, Yin Yao Junzhu sat on the coffin lid, silently waiting for her master to arrive.

This house had been vacant for a long time, and the furniture such as chairs and sofas was covered with dust cloths.

There were many empty houses like this in New York County. According to the laws of the Free Federation, if a homeless person occupied an uninhabited house and paid the utility bills for a period of time, the house would automatically become the property of the homeless person. Therefore, landlords often sealed the windows and doors with wooden boards to prevent squatters from taking over.

Dreamlike starlight rose from the house. Yin Yao Junzhu tilted her head slightly and saw the delicate Xiaonai Gou walking out of the starlight. Seeing Zhang Yuanqing coming over, Yin Yao Junzhu immediately raised her little loudspeaker, "I've seen this kind of professional in the Western Religion."

"Western Religion?" Zhang Yuanqing asked in confusion.

Yin Yao Junzhu tapped the little loudspeaker: "When I traveled around the Jianghu, I encountered the Western Religion. They used the name of spreading religion to swindle money and sex from the people. There were practitioners among the priests. I killed a few of them. Some of them couldn't be killed. After suffering fatal injuries, they would turn into this."

"When you encountered the Western Religion, they should have just ended the Black Death. Europe was in ruins and life was difficult, so they ran to Great Ming to make a living." Zhang Yuanqing perfunctorily said.

He walked to the coffin, pressed his palm on the coffin lid, and read the item information:

【Name: Sleeping Hall】

【Type: Coffin】

【Function: Amplification, Sealing】

【Introduction: It was once the sleeping tool of a certain Eternal Night Watcher, and it was soaked with the aura of that strong person. It gradually possessed divinity and had a powerful sealing function. When an Eternal Night professional lies in the coffin, the strength of all skills will be amplified. 】

【Note: Exclusive item for Eternal Night professionals. For other Lingjing Xingzhe, its only function is sealing. 】

A professional exclusive buff item, similar to Fu Qingyang's Court Swordsman Cloak. Of course, the quality is worlds apart… It can be used to seal some things, such as evil things, such as enemies… Zhang Yuanqing was very satisfied with the "sealing" function of this item.

Because this was exactly what he lacked.

Of course.

What he had to consider now was how to deal with Hecate. Zhang Yuanqing already had an idea about this…

He took out his phone and dialed the Chairman's number.

A dozen seconds later, the phone was connected.

Zhang Yuanqing got straight to the point: "I killed Bacchus and Hecate. Hecate was forced to use his passive ability by me. Come and deal with it."

The Chairman sighed. Although I should give you a thumbs up at this time, isn't your calling frequency too high? I'm your sugar daddy, not your nanny.

"Sugar daddy, come and deal with it." A few minutes later, the Chairman teleported over. He stood by the coffin, looking at Hecate, whose body was in a phantom state.

Zhang Yuanqing explained, "I killed him in a dream. The identity of the Tongtian Cult Leader has been exposed. Hecate must die."

"The passive ability of Eternal Night professionals is indeed troublesome. Although it can only be used once in the Extraordinary stage, twice in the Saint stage, and three times in the Lord stage, as long as the passive ability is still there, it is difficult to kill the other party."

The Chairman, wearing a shit-yellow pajamas, stretched out his palm and pinched Hecate's neck. His palm, like Hecate's body, was in a phantom state.

In terms of Void ability, merchants are the experts in this field.

"Crack!"

The Chairman exerted a little force and snapped Hecate's neck. The head and body separated. This Saint-level peak "Abyss Apostle" exited the ethereal state and became a warm corpse.

Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to use Soul Devour and swallowed Hecate's soul.

A few minutes later, the black and viscous power in his eyes receded, and he obtained information about the Night God Church and the Eternal Night Professional Hunter Guild.

The Night God Church was a relatively loose organization. The popes and elders in the church rarely showed up and slept for many years. Therefore, there was no discipline or management within the organization.

The elders would issue orders to the members of the organization through items from time to time: you can choose to obey the orders, or you can ignore the elders, anyway, they won't wake up and beat you.

It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they couldn't. High-level Eternal Nights spent most of their lives sleeping. Sleeping was their way of survival.

According to Hecate's understanding, the end of Eternal Night professionals was to get rid of the form of carbon-based organisms and transform into the abyss.

The abyss devoured everything, including light. So far, no Eternal Night professional has been able to reach that realm, including the Night God Church Pope.

As for the Hunter Guild's information, Hecate's superior was one of the three vice-chairmen, calling himself "Thor," a Lord-level Thunder Mage.

"Thor…"

Mr. Chairman chuckled: "That's the Lingjing ID of the chief prosecutor of Tian Ding." The dignified chief prosecutor, a demigod-level powerhouse, of course, couldn't be the vice-chairman of the Hunter Guild. The vice-chairman used this name, which shows that he had the ambition to replace the chief prosecutor of the Puritans.

Mr. Chairman said, "Next, you have to give Catherine a satisfactory answer so that she accepts the fact that the mission failed without suspecting you."

The Hunter Guild lost Bacchus and Hecate, and Cocktail hid in the Lingjing instance. There were not many peak Saints that the Hunter Guild could mobilize. They will definitely reuse you. At that time, you will be able to access higher-level information, find opportunities to make great achievements, and then be promoted to a big shot in the villain forces.

Zhang Yuanqing thought, "Chairman, don't let me do this for three years and then another three years. I definitely can't resist the temptation."

"I will perfunctorily deal with Catherine." Zhang Yuanqing added in his heart.

It's not a big deal to sacrifice his good looks. With the certainty of a mission failure, Catherine will definitely suspect him. Therefore, he was so patient in answering Sean Meade's questions tonight.

There are Puritan spies in the Execution Department! The spies will definitely pay attention to this matter and find out the reason. At that time, Ju Mang's mission report will be the evidence for the Tongtian Cult Leader to "exonerate" himself.

Zhang Yuanqing put away the coffin and Yin Yao Junzhu, bid farewell to the Chairman, and left as starlight.

The next day!

He opened his spare phone and saw Catherine's text message and missed calls. 【Catherine, come to the health club to see me immediately after seeing the message. 】

Songhai, Beijing time, 8:30 p.m. Fu Qingyang finished his official business and was about to change into his martial arts uniform and go to the practice room to hone his swordsmanship.

The mailbox "dinged," and a new email arrived.

He opened the mailbox to check and found that it was an email from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Five Elements Alliance.

Elder Miao Chang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs invited him to participate in an online meeting, which was in fifteen minutes.
